Unto thee lift I up mine eyes,
O thou that dwellest in the heavens.

…Our eyes wait upon the Lord our God,
until that he have mercy upon us.

Have mercy upon us, O Lord,
have mercy upon us….

Our soul is exceedingly filled
with the scorning of those that are at ease,
and with the contempt of the proud.

Psalm 123

Just three disconnected (I think) notes:

  1. Only with God’s mercy can I continue on.
  2. I know the feeling of that last verse.
  3. Me thinks at times I don’t know how to pray.

…Save with thy right hand,
and answer me.

Give us help from trouble:
for vain is the help of man.

Through God
we shall do valiantly:
for he it is
that shall tread down our enemies.

Psalm 108
